I guess that would be possible if you also include "shell" mods with the old name to enable access to their saved variables and have import rutines that copy across. by all means doable but requires a bit of work for each mod.
Question about the renaming... the README says that for websites the convention should be to name it "FuBar - AddOnFu" but all of Boss' addons were just renamed to "AddOnFu"? Which is it?
